Anyone Have Any Information on Treatment for Triple Negative Stage 4 Breast Cancer?
Question by : Anyone have any information on treatment for triple negative stage 4 breast cancer?
My sister, 55yrs old, diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in April 2010. Had mastectomy, 3 positive lymph nodes (under arm), had 12 weeks of grueling chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiation treatment. Now found out she has lung metastasis and bone. Just when our family thought she’d beat this disease. Interested in hearing from a survivor or an oncologist. Any promising clinical trials? She lives in LA and is a wonderful person.

As you know, this is now stage IV breast cancer and is considered incurable.
The goal now is to buy as much good quality time as possible.
Here’s an excellent review from an Sept 30,2008 journal.
